I went blind. My kidneys failed. My heart stopped on a surgical table. I walked out of all of it knowing one thing: pain was never the point. Pain had a hidden agenda for my life. I think it has one for yours too.
This book is for the person sitting in the waiting room of a life that did not turn out the way you planned. The marriage that ended. The diagnosis that did not budge. The check that bounced. The promotion that went to someone else. The grief that does not lift. The phone call that changed everything.
The Hidden Agenda of Pain is not another book that tells you to think positive and push through. It is a field guide written by someone who flatlined, came back, and learned what pain was actually doing in his life all along. What I learned is that pain is not your enemy. Pain is a map. And once you can read the map, you can find your way to purpose.
Inside, you will find the testimony of how I survived three near-death experiences and what God showed me on the other side. You will find the framework I now teach pastors, leaders, and entrepreneurs for transforming their pain into their purpose. And you will find permission to stop pretending you are okay so you can start actually getting better.
If you are tired of pretending pain is not happening, this book is for you. If you are ready to find out what your pain has been trying to tell you all along, this book is for you.
Chronic illness, a hard diagnosis, a body that does not feel like home anymore.
A marriage, a friendship, a child, a death you cannot un-grieve.
Bills you cannot pay, a business you cannot save, a future that feels closed.
The slow burn of being passed over, lied to, or forgotten one too many times.
I did not write this book because I figured pain out. I wrote this book because I survived it, three times, and I want to spare you the time it took me to find the agenda underneath. If God can pull purpose out of my flatline, He can pull purpose out of yours.
The Hidden Agenda of Pain is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
